Sigh.

The flight my mom and sister were supposed to be on this a.m. was canceled. Some type of problem with a battery that needed to be recharged. They sat and waited in the Edmonton airport for 4 hours until they could find out what other flight they will be on.

I have the new flight info and they will be arriving at 10:30 pm instead of the original 5:00 pm.

I'm happy they will still arrive today but the 5:00 was perfect- I'd go pick them up, it would still be sunny and light- we would stop by the house to see Cooper and drop off luggage and then go meet Mel at the University and then go to dinner.

Awwwww ..... well, have a nice glass of wine while you wait for them ... the time will go by faster.

One glass turns into the whole bottle. :)

Get Mel to drive and drink the whole dang bottle!!! After all, you have to have a drink for me :)

The first stop my mom and sis want to make is the drive thru Daiquiri shop. My mom doesn't really drink so she'll be hammered after a few sips- they are strong!!

I love drunken Mama!!!

Thanks Liz. That's some great advice. I'm working on trying all of those right now. It's a bit more difficult cause she's had 3 years to get like this, plus we've got company right now and that always throws everything way out of whack! I'm working on it though. I'm going to get her to the point where she's fine being home by herself while I'm not here. It's just too bad that she hates her crate!

After you crate your neighbour, you're supposed to ship her out. :bonk:

Baxter hated his dog bed initially too..

then i would throw treats randomly in it for him to discover later and now he sleeps in it every night until about 6 am at which point he jumps into bed =)

also I was very careful not to use his bed as a punishment spot.

I had to yell at Oliver a few times when he would put him in it when he chewed something...

Holy Mackerel! That's flipping annoying! Chicago is the WORST for flight delays. You're always guaranteed to add another hour or two to the arrival time of anyone travelling through there. :angry:

Oh well. The main thing is that they arrive safely. :)

True- I just feel bad for them. They were at the Edmonton airport at 6 am and had to wait an extra 4 hours because the first flight also had problems.
